Sewer, drain and water line help in Germantown, MD
Germantown grew fast from the 1970s through the 1990s, and a lot of those homes are now at the age where the plumbing under the yard starts asking for attention. We provide trenchless sewer repair, drain cleaning and water line service for Germantown, MD neighborhoods, townhouse communities and businesses.
The first step is always the same: a look inside the line, so the fix matches the problem.
What we see most in Germantown
Many Germantown homes are old enough that their first round of plumbing problems has arrived. We see roots working into joints where street trees have matured, laterals under driveways and patios that homeowners would rather not break up, and drain lines slowed by years of kitchen grease.
Sewer gas smells come up often too. Sometimes it is as simple as a dry floor drain trap in a basement that rarely gets used. Sometimes it is a cracked line or a vent problem. We check the easy causes first.
With so many established yards and hardscaped townhouse fronts, no-dig repair is a big draw here. When the line is a good candidate, lining lets you keep the driveway, the walkway and the landscaping.

Germantown questions
Check any floor drain that rarely gets water first. If the trap has dried out, pouring a bucket of water in it often fixes the smell. If the smell comes back or is outside too, a camera inspection is the next step.
In many cases, yes. If the camera shows the line is a good lining candidate, we work from access pits on either side of the driveway.
Shut off the main water valve, usually in the basement where the line comes in, then call us. If you cannot find the valve, the water utility can shut it off at the meter.
